This month, most of the Mini Mozarts students are finishing up the “black keys” songs, hence lots of performances of Old MacDonald. “White-Key Songs, here we come!”

This year, Etudes Music is supporting Operation Christmas Child. Operation Christmas Child gives shoeboxes filled with gifts to children in need all around the world. Through this, millions of children learn the real meaning of Christmas, and treasure gifts which for many of us are just every day items.

Next time you are out shopping, please consider picking up an extra item or two that can be added to our shoebox drive. This is a fantastic opportunity to teach our kids the value of giving to others.

​Gift ideas:
  • School Supplies: Pencils, Coloring books, Stickers, Colored pencils, Playdough
  • Hygiene Items: Comb, Hairbrush, Toothbrush, Bar Soap, Washcloth
  • Toys: Doll, Stuffed Animal, Recorder, Harmonica, Backpack
  • Clothes: Socks, Flip-flops, Hair bows, Underwear, Hat, Scarf

​The students are working in groups to see which group can fill the most boxes! Bring your items to the next lesson and drop them in our shoeboxes before Thanksgiving. We are trying to fill 20 shoeboxes!

Earlier this year, 5 Etudes Music students joined students from around the county, to take their Conservatory of Music Piano Exams at Anne Arundel Community College. Last week the Conservatory informed us that Emmanuel scored a higher mark than any other student, on his Preparatory Level A Exam.

Last Saturday, we had a day of celebration, because Emmanuel is the 10th Etudes Music student to win a “Center Certificate of Excellence” award for scoring the highest mark. Yay!

Memory Pieces

9/27/2019

Each year, I encourage the more advanced students to try to learn up to 10 pieces by memory.  ​I was delighted to hear Branwen play several of her pieces by memory at her lesson this week. 
She didn’t even know I was going to ask her to play them - she just had them memorized anyway! You go, Branwen! You are definitely the “Student of the Month!”

Piano Maestro

This year, we are using Piano Maestro lots, lots, lots for Level 1 and 2 students. Some parents have been asking if they need to connect the iPad to the piano with cables like I do in the classes. You do not need to do this. Just put the iPad on the music stand and play away. The iPad will pick up what is being played. See Asher playing “Yellow Bird” below, wearing her Santa hat for some bizarre reason, but with no cables :)

Summer Piano Finale

It seems that Summer Piano just began, so I can hardly believe that 5 weeks have passed already! Last weekend marked the end of the Praise Piano Camp and Blast Off Piano Camp #3.

Nearly all of the students were beginners, and it was wonderful to hear their progress after just 5 lessons. Great job, girls. Look forward to seeing you all in the Fall.

Blast off Piano Camp 2019

7/14/2019

Last week, 9 students had a “piano lesson test drive” at the Blast Off Piano Camp. They learned some easy music, some difficult music, played music theory games, used iPad piano apps and had lots of fun too.

​After just 5 days of piano classes, the week ended in a short recital as the students performed the pieces they learned for their family and friends.

Great job guys and gals! Looking forward to seeing you all again in the Fall.

All For A Good Cause

Last month, one of our star students headlined a fund raising concert to raise money for a missions trip. He put together his program, practiced hard and enlisted the help of his friends and sister. I was very proud to be a part of this event and was delighted to see how he used both his cello and piano skills for the benefit of the people of Belize.

Way to go, Awie! You rock!
